Hypnosis to quit smoking

Some studies have found that hypnosis is over 3 times more effective to help people stop smoking than nicotine patches or gum, and 15 times more effective than trying to quit smoking cigarettes with willpower alone.

Nicotine is addictive, but it’s the mental habit that makes it challenging for most people to stop smoking. That’s why hypnosis is such an effective way to stop smoking and vaping.

What to Expect during hypnosis

The Smoking Habit Pattern
Much of smoking addiction is a mental attachment to the regular routine of smoking. We discuss your daily routine and the associations you make with smoking.

Previous Attempts of quitting smoking
I will learn what has helped or not helped you quit smoking in the past to devise an approach specific to you. If you quit previously then picked up smoking again, we will discuss that experience.

Nicotine Addiction
We will discuss key points concerning the effects of nicotine. While I believe the habit pattern is a much greater obstacle to quitting smoking than nicotine addiction, I find that understanding how nicotine really works helps most people to let go of it more easily.

During Hypnosis in Lake Mary

Relaxation of general stress and anxiety
Hypnosis is deeply relaxing. I help you to enter and maintain a highly relaxed state of trance for a duration sufficient to trigger the parasympathetic relaxation response, which clears away stress, giving you the best possible starting point for success.

Imagery and Suggestive Therapeutics
In hypnosis the critical faculty of the conscious mind relaxes, allowing the unconscious to be influenced by imagery and suggestions. I use a variety of methods to free your thoughts and feelings from the smoking habit.

Avoiding Substitute Behaviors
Many people are concerned that they will replace smoking with another habit, especially eating. Our goal is to help you quit smoking by feeling relaxed and in control without the restlessness that causes people to substitute other behaviors.
